Accommodations/Modifications for Elementary Music

by ndukes

Jul 11, 2018

I have a few questions for general elementary music specialists who have self contained special ed classes at their school.

1. Do the students attend Specials classes based on their actual grade level, or do they attend classes at the level in which they can most actively and successfully participate?

2. How do you accommodate/mod...See More

EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Saturday

by men52

Jul 7, 2018

Training group did 21 miles on bikes on a glorious summer morning. It was almost 20 degrees lower then 48 hours ago.

Had a heart stopping experience at the water park yesterday when I saw an unsupervised toddler topple head first into three feet of water I ran over there jumped in as I yelled lifeguard twice before she saw I needed help. H...See More

men52 Elaine: did you ride the Rochester to Kokomo trail? I had read about that trail recently and it sounded like maybe that was it. We are doing country roads now in the training group on Saturdays, but on Mondays when I lead my leisure group we stay strictly on bike trails. We have an excellent collection of bike trails here with many new ones in the ...See More

Elaine/ret/IN Men--yes, it was the Rochester-Kokomo trail. We've now ridden most of it. What's left is the southern part into Kokomo. Come to Indiana and ride with us. (You'll be braking all the way--speed is not our forte. Ha!)

We need Nebraska. That's it. You will mail our 50 postcards, and in return, you will receive one postcard from every state and Canada too! Here is all the information:

We are a unique group because most years we have 100% participation. This means you will receive 50 postcards - one from each state and Canada! That is how we all end up with one postcard from each state, plus Canada too.

You have to mail out 50 postcards - they can all be the same. You type the same thing on each postcard describing your state and what the students do in the winter. (Glue sticks are wonderful)

If you are interested in joining, please reply to my email address with the info I need to set you up. [email]dahliamrsk@gmail.com[/email]

If you decide to join, I am glad because this Postcard Exchange is made up of a great group of enthusiastic teachers. Our response rate is so good that most of the teachers keep signing up year after year to be part of the exchange! This is the 17th year of our exchange!

In order to set you up for the Exchange, I would appreciate if you could provide me with your name, exact school address for mailing purposes, and the grade level you teach.

I also need to know how you would like your name listed on the postcards. (For example: Mrs. Kugelman's 3rd Grade class, Mrs. Jill's Class, or the 4th Graders in Room 5).

I am creating a list of everyone's school address and will organize the list into labels and/or a Word file for easy mailing for everyone. We include one teacher from all of the 50 states plus Canada.

I usually ask the students to bring in 3-4 postcards of their state (appropriate for school). I also ask the school district to pay the mailing costs. Please note that we do not use homemade postcards, only commercially-made postcards may be used for our exchange. Some teachers use VistaPrint and create their own postcard that looks just like a commercially-made postcard.

Some people buy postcards on Amazon. Here is the link to the CA one. You just search for postcard vintage. This is only for 20 postcards though: [url]https://www.amazon.com/GREETINGS-CALIFORNIA-identical-postcards-1930s-1940s/dp/B00XW8KRPA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1530748371&sr=8-1&keywords=california+postcard+vintage[/url]

The mailing date for all the postcards is in November.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at [email]dahliamrsk@gmail.com[/email]
